-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Ryan Alexander Jenkins , a reality TV contestant suspected in his wife 's slaying , was found hanging from a coat rack in a motel room in an apparent suicide , according to Canadian officials .

Police were hunting for Ryan Alexander Jenkins after the death of Jasmine Fiore .

Staff at a motel in Hope , British Columbia , found Jenkins dead , officials said .

`` It was a man hanging by a belt from a coat rack , '' Kevin Walker , the manager of the budget Thunderbird Motel , told CNN affiliate CTV on Sunday .

Walker said a woman , about 20 to 25 years old , dropped off Jenkins at the motel on Friday in a silver Chrysler PT Cruiser with Alberta tags . Police have not been able to identify the woman . Watch how suspect found in hotel ''

The nude body of Jenkins ' wife , former swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore , was found last weekend in Orange County , California . CNN has not confirmed reports that the marriage was annulled .

Fiore 's body was found last Saturday in a Dumpster behind an apartment complex in Buena Park , just outside Anaheim , California . Her teeth had been extracted and fingers removed in what police said was an apparent attempt to conceal her identity .

Law enforcement sources have told CNN that Fiore was identified through the serial numbers on her breast implants .

Fiore lived in Los Angeles and was last seen alive in San Diego at a poker game with Jenkins , the night before the body was found .

Jenkins reported Fiore missing last Saturday night to the Los Angeles County Sheriff 's Department , authorities said .

The body was identified Monday as Fiore . While the cause of death had not been confirmed , a preliminary coroner 's report indicated she was strangled .

According to court records in Las Vegas , Nevada , Jenkins was charged in June with battery for allegedly striking Fiore in the arm with his fist .

And in 2007 , Jenkins pleaded guilty in Calgary , Alberta , Canada to assault in a separate case . He was sentenced to 15 months probation , ordered to undergo counseling for domestic violence and sex addiction and to stay away from the person involved , according to court records .

Jenkins , who appeared on the VH1 show `` Megan Wants a Millionaire , '' is from Calgary .

51Minds , which produced `` Megan Wants a Millionaire , '' said Thursday in a written statement that it `` was not aware of Ryan Jenkins ' record when it cast him .

`` The company did have in place what it thought was a thorough vetting process that involved complete background checks by an outside company for all contestants on its shows , '' it said . `` Clearly , the process did not work properly in this case . 51 Minds is investigating what went wrong and taking steps to ensure that this sort of lapse never occurs again .
